Multi-Purpose Display and Instruments
Operating the multi-purpose
display on the instrument panelOn-board computer information can be displayed
on the multi-purpose display. Additional functions
are also available in the main menu which allow
you to change the settings for your vehicle.
Warning!
There is a danger of accident, resulting in
serious personal injury or death if you set or
operate the multi-purpose display, radio,
navigation system, telephone or other equip-
ment while driving. Operating these devices
while driving could distract you from traffic
and cause you to lose control of the vehicle.
fOperate these components while driving only if
the traffic situation allows you to do so safely.
fCarry out any complicated operating or setting procedures only with the vehicle stationary.
It is not possible to describe all details of the
functions in this Owner’ s Manual.
The examples clearly demonstrate the functional
principle and clarify the menu structure.Note on operation
Depending on the equipment of your vehicle,
some information or functions may not be avai-
lable on the multi-purpose display (e.g. navigation,
audio system, compass or tire pressure)
Various menus can only be called up when the
vehicle is stationary.
Note
The multi-purpose display is ready for operation
only when the ignition is on.
Note on operation
By selecting the menu items
MAIN MENU > SETTINGS > FACTORY SET, you
can reset all individual settings to the basic factory
settings.
Note on operation
Arrows at the top and bottom of the menu indicate
additional entries.
fPress rocker switch A up or down.
In the COMFORT menu, the menu scrolls
automatically as you approach the end of the list.
Operating principleThe multi-purpose display is operated by means of
the rocker switch A and the ENTER button B on
the windshield wiper stalk.
Selection or setting
Using the rocker switch A, you can move the bar
up and down to select menu items, change
between display screens and make settings.
Confirmation
Press the ENTER button B to confirm the selected
entry. The selected item is then activated.

Displaying/resetting average
speed
Displaying range on remaining fuelThe range on remaining fuel is continuously
recomputed while driving based on fuel level,
current consumption and average consumption.
Displaying tire pressureThis display is available only in conjunction with the
Tire Pressure Monitoring option.
The current tire pressures at the actually present
levels are displayed in the “Tyre pressure” screen
of the on-board computer. These values would be
identical to those of a pressure gage connected to
the four valves. These pressures change while the
vehicle is being driven.
– The tire pressures increase as the temperature
in the tires rises, e.g. during high-speed
motorway driving.
– The tire pressures decrease as the tempera-
tures drop, e.g. during trips in cold regions
(such as mountains).
The values displayed therefore do not allow
conclusions to be drawn about possible pressure
deviations.
fIn order to display pressure deviations from
the prescribed pressure, select the menu item
TYRE PRESS. in the MAIN MENU.
Displaying compassThis display is available only in conjunction with the
Compass or PCM option.Displaying navigation informationNavigation information can also be displayed on
the multi-purpose display.
This display is available only in conjunction with the
Navigation (PCM) option. Displaying average speed
1.Switch ignition on.
2.Select Ø MPH.
The average speed is displayed.
The displayed values are based on the
distance travelled since the last reset to
“zero”.

fFor information on the operating principle of
the multi-purpose display:
Please see the chapter “OPERATING
PRINCIPLE” on Page 124.
Setting Tire Pressure Monitoring
Danger!
Risk of serious personal injury or death.
Driving the vehicle with low tire pressure
increases risk of a tire failure and resulting
loss of control. Furthermore, low tire
pressure increases rate of wear of the
affected tires.
Despite the advantages offered by Tire
Pressure Monitoring, it is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is still the
driver’s responsibility to update the settings
in the multi-purpose display and maintain the
correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation
has not reached the level to trigger illumina-
tion of Tire Pressure Monitoring low tire
pressure message. Low tire pressure
reduces the road safety of the vehicle and
destroys the tire and wheel.
fWhen a flat tire has been displayed, immedi-
ately stop in a suitable place and check the
tires for damage. If necessary, remedy the damage with tire sealant or fit the spare wheel.
fDo not by any means continue to drive with
leaking tires.
fSealing the tire with the tire sealant is only an
emergency repair so you can drive to the next
authorized Porsche dealer.
The maximum permitted speed is 50 mph
(80 km/h).
fDefective tires must be immediately replaced
by an authorized Porsche dealer.
Tire repairs are not permissible under any
circumstances.
fDo not drive with tires whose tire pressure
drops again in a short period of time. Have
tires checked by an authorized Porsche dealer.
fIf Tire Pressure Monitoring is defective (e.g.
defective wheel transmitters), contact an
authorized Porsche dealer immediately and
have the damage repaired.
The tire pressure will not be monitored by
defective Tire Pressure Monitoring.
For information on warning messages on the
multi-purpose display: Please see the chapter
“OVERVIEW OF WARNING MESSAGES” on
Page 149.
fTire Pressure Monitoring gives a warning about
tire damage due to insufficient tire pressure as
well as about a gradual loss of pressure due to
foreign objects. Tire Pressure Monitoring
cannot warn you about tire damage that
occurs suddenly (e.g. flat tire due to acute
external effects).
